Darwinian theory of evolution: the rule of the survival of the fittest and passing of characteristics to generations The Marxian philosophy: mode of production in economic life determines the social, political, cultural processes of life A rhythm-philosophy explains that it is a series of pulsations History and changes

History is only possible because of changes.
Two types of changes:

...﻿Summary:
Unhistorical Data
There are some narratives that have been previously accepted in PhilippineHistory as facts but later were found out to be historical errors.
Maragtas
It is the story about ten Malay datu from Borneo who settled into the Philippine Islands. According to the Maragtas at around 1250 A.D., ten Bornean Datu left their kingdom in search of new homes across the sea to escape the merciless rule of Sultan Makatunaw.
Led by Datu Puti, the Borneans landed in the island of Panay and bought the lowlands from the Ati king named Marikudo in exchange of the gold saduk (native hat) and a long gold necklace for Queen Maningwantiwan (Maniwangtiwan). After the land sale and pact of friendship, the Atis went to the hills. The Malay Datus settled in lowlands.
Datus Puti, Balensusa, and Dumangsil sailed northward to Luzon and landed in the region around Lake Bonbon (Taal).There they built their settlements. Dumangsil and Balensusa’s families occupied other neighboring regions now known as Laguna and the Bicol Peninsula. Datu Puti left Borneo after he knew that his men were leading peaceful lives.
The other seven Datu stayed in Panay. They divided the island into three districts. Hantik (now Antique) was under Datu Sumakwel. Datu Paiburong ruled Irong-irong (now Ilo-ilo). DatuBangkaya governed Aklan (now Aklan and Capiz).
Led by Datu Sumakwel, a political confederation of Barangays (Madya-as) was formed for purposes of...

CRITICAL THINKING ANSWERS
So, Tiffany Ciriaco Sir Rolance Chua
1. Before the coming of the Spaniards in 16th century, economic activities were already taking place in the islands. The Pre-Hispanic settlers of the archipelago were economically self-sufficient. In agriculture, it is believe that the Banaue Rice Terraces may have been built which proves the early Filipinos’ skills in agriculture. Agriculture was the main source of livelihood in the pre-colonial Philippines there was an abundance of sugar cane, coconut, rice, cotton, hemp, and many species of fruits and vegetables. Fishing, due to the country’s long coastline and bodies of water, the early settlers always had an abundant catch of fishes, crustaceans, shrimps and shells. They used pointed spears, cages and fishnets in fishing. Lumbering, Shipbuilding and Seafaring, when the Spaniards arrived they found the early Filipinos’ ship to be of excellent quality. Weaving, native Filipinos weaved using fibers from abaca, pineapple, cotton, and bark cloth. Clothes, rugs, and hats were weaved. Baskets were also weaved and used as vessels of transport, storage, and for hunting. Domestic trade existed among the barangays and the islands. The Filipinos foreign trade was with China, Japan, Thailand, Borneo, and other islands of old Malaysia. Now, in modern time – agriculture is still the main source of livelihood, but because of the rapid...

Introduction
This project is the product of our intelligence and creativity. This is made because we want to share our knowledge about the tragic yet beautiful history of our beloved country, Philippines.
We hope that every student would value and protect our history and help improve the unity of our country. As what a saying says,
“Ang taong hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan, ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.”
Most of all, this project would answer our questions like : why ? and how ? it all happened. We would know what happened during that successful Battle of Mactan between Lapu-lapu and the Spaniards that is led by Ferdinand Magellan. We would also know the contributions of Spain and America to our country.
Enjoy and we hope that you would learn something.

...﻿History of the Philippines
The history of the Philippines is believed to have begun with the arrival of the first humans using rafts or primitive boats, at least 67,000 years ago as the 2007 discovery of Callao Man showed. Spanish colonization and settlement began with the arrival of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi's expedition on February 13, 1565 who established the first permanent settlement of San Miguel on the island of Cebu. The expedition continued northward reaching the bay of Manila on the island of Luzon on June 24, 1571, where they established a new town and thus began an era of Spanish colonization that lasted for more than three centuries. Spanish rule achieved the political unification of almost the whole archipelago, that previously had been composed by independent kingdoms, pushing back south the advancing Islamic forces and creating the first draft of the nation that was to be known as the Philippines. The Philippine Revolution against Spain began in August 1896, culminating the establishment of the First Philippine Republic. However, the Treaty of Paris, at the end of the Spanish–American War, transferred control of the Philippines to the United States. This agreement was not recognized by the insurgent First Philippine Republic Government which, on June 2, 1899, proclaimed a Declaration of War against the United States. The...

...Before the so-called invaders of Philippines came here, we proudly say that we are civilized then and stood up by ourselves even without the help of others. Fossils, bones and jars were found from the different parts of the country as a sign of life many years ago. The oldest of which was retrieved in a cave named Kuweba ng Tabon, Palawan. It was said that they lived 22,000 years ago.
It stated in the history of the Philippines that the first group of men who came here was the Negritos. They are those who have dark complexion, small, and has curly hair. Their other names were Aetas, Itas, Baluga and many more. It was believed that they lived in caves and in the mountains. After the Negritos were the Indones. They are those who have a white complexion, tall, and tough bodies. To compare the two, the Indones are smart looking people. The last group was the Malays. They were the one having the right complexion, height and characteristics. They were the one who mostly dominated the archipelago. Being civilized persons, they were able to live according to their skills and unbelievable ability to maintain their spirit to live. These people lived peacefully. The neighbor countries such as the China started to trade with the people here. They traded textiles, jars, animals and other tradable materials.
It was not easy for the Spaniards to conquer and build a government in the Philippines because the native Filipinos fought...
